The lubricating oil of the circulation chiller is an integral part of the normal operation of the system, which provides lubrication and cooling conditions for the components of the cryopump. So what kind of impact will the suitability of oil temperature, oil pressure difference, and oil level height have on the equipment?
1. Oil temperature
Oil temperature refers to the lubricating oil temperature during the operation of the recirculating coolers. The temperature of the oil has a significant impact on the viscosity of the lubricating oil. If the oil temperature is too low, the viscosity of the oil increases, the fluidity decreases, and the expected lubrication effect cannot be achieved; If the oil temperature is too high, the viscosity of the oil will decrease, and the oil film cannot reach the thickness, which exacerbates the wear of moving parts and leads to the failure of the refrigerated circulator.
2. Oil pressure difference
Under the drive of the oil pump, lubricating oil flows to the required working area of the equipment in the oil system pipeline, providing guarantee for overcoming flow resistance. Without sufficient oil pressure difference, it is impossible to ensure that the lubrication system has sufficient lubrication and cooling oil, as well as the power required to drive the energy regulating device.
3. Oil level height
The oil level height is the level of only lubricating oil in the oil storage container. Circulation chiller's oil storage containers are equipped with oil level display devices, and it is generally stipulated that the oil level inside the storage container should be 5mm below the horizontal line of the sight glass. Low oil level can easily cause insufficient oil pump supply, leading to operational failures or equipment damage.
